Now that looks to me like an Allwin or Allwin Style and even though it looks like it needs some restoration and is not in the best condition, it would probably go for quite a few hundred pounds GBP over here

We tend to call them 'Allwin's, even though there were a few different manufacturers like 'Oliver Whales', 'Wondermatic' and 'Bryans' etc

Thanks Ang for taking over the expertise on this one. I know nothing about it.

Yeah, I was watching that one real close... not that I "needed" another Whales & Co. Allwin that dispensed candy (I hve two already). I was glad to see it sell for so much. That lets me know how to list an Allwin in the U.S. should I ever find a need to part with one of mine.

I was also watching (and trying to snipe) this beauty at the same time: RARE !!!! Antique Clock Slot Trade Stimulator WOW !!!!! - eBay (item 290528797682 end time Feb-08-11 21:23:21 PST)

It's a Bryan's Spinning Game that is designed to look like a mantle clock. These are few and far between here in the U.S., which is why it sold for way more than my snipe was set for. Someday I will find a way to get one into my collection.
